Check Out Smorgasburg L.A.'s New Food Vendor Lineup for 2017

Smorgasburg launched this summer to great acclaim on one of the hottest days of the year. We imagine its grand reopening this weekend will be even more popular, given that the current weather is more conducive to tamales, rice bowls and enormous pastrami sandwiches.

The open-air market, held in the loading lot of a produce market downtown, will reopen after a brief holiday hiatus on Sunday, Jan. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entrance is free, and food prices (and line wait times) vary. There are four new food vendors this year:

Brothecary

This family-run stall serves homemade dumplings and Cantonese-inspired broths ? they're calling them bone broth, naturally. The coconut-chicken broth seems to be a particular point of pride.

Kohk & Sahk

Laotian jerky! In both beef and pork varieties.

Little Llama Peruvian Tacos

Pomegranate glazed pork belly and lomo saltado with huacatay aioli ... in tortillas.Bukchae

Imagine the turkey legs at Disneyland, then imagine them prepared in the style of Korean fried chicken. Yeah. They come with a choice of two sauces: spicy gochujang and sweet garlic-sesame.

Tamale Shoppe

Just utter tamale madness. The menu will rotate pretty regularly.

Duck Duck Goose

This purveyor says its classic foie gras terrines are made with foie sourced from humane farms. The terrines are served with fig and walnut bread from Bread Lounge, plus jams and cornichons. The stand will also have a limited number of foie gras doughnuts. Hummus Yummy

Our own Besha Rodell called this the best hummus in Los Angeles, so you know it's good. Made Israeli-style, toppings include shakshuka and fava beans. Hummus Yummy?also?will have falafel, as a side or sandwich.
